[Tony Hillyard]

Good afternoon everyone,

As a new member I would like to introduce myself. Retired photographer/car restorer now living in rural France. I've been around vintage and classic cars and trucks all my life, but I still love to try and learn something new every day. My main target lately is to try and make Youtube videos of some of my projects in the hope they might be helpful to others interested in our hobby. If you are curious to have a look, just type my name into the Youtube search box.

Good luck with the VFF.

Thanks Tony and welcome to the VFF, any help is always appreciated.

Thanks Tony & Welcome to the VFF! I am glad you found us.

You'll see a lot of familiar names here, and some others that you may remember from many years ago. This site has a better way to post your Youtube videos than using the traditional link. The tutorial on how to do that is listed in the forum support / feedback sticky.

It is located here on post #11

Depending on what your material is, we can maybe think about creating some kind of Youtube technical information thread or area. (if your interested) Again welcome and if you need any assistance feel free to reach out to me.

Welcome this is a great source of information and fun.

Welcome Tony,
I sent you another email this morning. Looonnngg night for me, just waking up now.
I know the furum here will certainly enjoy your informative youtube videos.
Keep brousing all over this forum. (Mitch can attest to this) I've been lurking everywhere here and have made discoveries that make this forum the most user friendly that I have ever encountered. Your investment of time searching this site will not be wasted. Very good mechanical, and restoration information is stored in a much easier format. That, if you need to search for something, it is much easier to find.
Welcome to the VFF, I personally know that you have alot to offer to the forum, as well, you will reap huge rewards just for being here.

Hey Tony, WELCOME to the VFF!!

I look forward to the information you can bring to this forum, and will be looking for your videos too.

BTW, some time ago I watched your video in the fitting of the roadster side curtains. Very informative, anxious to see what you come up with next.

Tony nice job putting on the side curtains.

Tony, that's probably the most professional video I've seen on U tube. The camera stays on the subject, there is no constant panning in and out, there is no camera shake, and I like the way you speed up the boring action of removing bolts.

A lot of videos on U tube I turn off after a few seconds because they are so slow, constantly moving in and out, or not showing the subject, or they are shaky.

All the above welcomes and then some.................

The rear axle dolly plans were added to the video thread for anyone that is interested in building one.

Thank you Tom. Coming from you I take that as a real compliment.
